Giants fire OC Jason Garrett after less than 2 seasons

The New York Giants fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, the team announced Tuesday.

Garrett, 55, joined New York last season after coaching the Dallas Cowboys from 2011-19. The 2016 Coach of the Year spent only 26 games with the Giants. His last appearance was a 30-10 defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

Multiple Giants players reportedly grew frustrated with Garrett and his play-calling this season as the team struggled.

The 3-7 Giants rank 25th in scoring in 2021 with just 18.9 points per game despite a wealth of talent at the skill positions. They averaged 17.5 points per contest last year, the second-worst mark in the NFL.

No team has scored fewer touchdowns than the Giants (42) since the beginning of the 2020 campaign, according to Mike Clay of ESPN.

"I feel we have to be more productive as an offense," head coach Joe Judge said Tuesday, per Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. "I don't believe we're scoring enough points."

Senior offensive assistant Freddie Kitchens is expected to take over play-calling duties for New York, reports Pat Leonard of New York Daily News.

Judge didn't confirm Kitchen as his next offensive play-caller, however, insisting the team will "handle things collaboratively."
